I'm not surprised by parking fees which I get considering the value of beach front property.
But why a charge to use a public beach in Florida?
Aren't beaches public land?
Is the charge used to clean-up after the public pigs?
Do condo associations and Retail businesses pay for the cleanup?
Just surprised I guess

Fort Island Gulf Beach has free access to the beach & free parking. Amenities include a concession stand, restrooms, and covered picnic tables. Anyway, I don't have a problem paying an entrance or parking fee at some state parks, beaches, etc. Somebody has to maintain these beaches & parks. The money has to come from somewhere & without these reasonable fees , the entire cost would fall to the taxpayers.
